Securing Piper by Susan Stoker

What started as an adventure, soon became hell. Piper Johnson's thrilled to spend time in Timor-Leste with her best friend, a Peace Corps volunteer.until civil unrest erupts throughout the countryside, including an attack at the orphanage the women were visiting. With the aid of a SEAL team sent to extract the government employee, Piper flees with the only other known survivors--three young orphan girls. Piper wasn't able to save her friend, but she'll be damned if she leaves the girls to the mercy of child traffickers in the country's impoverished capital. However, taking them with her to the States requires something drastic, something crazy.something she can't do alone.

What started as a mission, soon becomes fate. Since nearly dying on a previous op, Beckett Ace Morgan has no time for regrets. Life is far too short. So when he learns the brave, beautiful, selfless woman he's rescued has a better chance of getting three orphans out of the country if she's married, he doesn't hesitate. Ace marries her then and there, instantly gaining the family he's always wanted. With time, he knows his respect for Piper can grow into love, and meanwhile, he's saved both her and their new daughters from a fast-spreading rebel incursion.

Protecting his girls on foreign soil turns out to be the easy part of the team's mission. Protecting them from a threat waiting at home may be the biggest fight of Ace's life.
